From Chapman, p. 8:
"Work often remained in manuscript for so long
that it needed to be updated as the years went
by. In the original version of the third
William James lecture, Grice uses the example:
Either Wilson or Macmillan will be PM.
"At a later date, "MacMillan' has been crossed out and "Heath" written over the top -- in a different(ly) coloured ink"
I mean. Who cares. A politician is a politician is a politician. And 'or' is never exclusive.
